The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the United States.

Work well together

Use them together by applying your acid blend first and your [linoleic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ingredients/linoleic-acid) right after, because linoleic acid helps rebuild your moisture barrier. The acid blend gently exfoliates while linoleic acid restores vital moisture to keep your skin feeling soft and balanced. If you experience any sensitivity, try using a gentler strength or space out the application times.
